The SNS Insider report indicates that the Metal Powder Market generated USD 6.96 billion in 2022, grow at a CAGR of 7.1%, and reach USD 12.05 billion by 2030 over the forecast time of 2023-2030. The metal powder market is witnessing rapid growth, driven by the increasing demand for additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, across various industries such as aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and electronics. Metal powders serve as feedstock materials for additive manufacturing processes, enabling the production of complex geometries, lightweight structures, and customized components with high precision and efficiency. As industries embrace the benefits of additive manufacturing, including design freedom, reduced material waste, and rapid prototyping capabilities, the demand for metal powders as key consumables in the process is surging, propelling the expansion of the global metal powder market.
One key trend shaping the metal powder market is the development of advanced alloy compositions and powder metallurgy techniques to meet the stringent performance requirements of end-use applications. Manufacturers are investing in research and development to engineer metal powders with tailored properties such as particle size distribution, morphology, and chemical composition, optimizing flowability, packing density, and sinterability for specific additive manufacturing processes. Additionally, the use of powder metallurgy techniques such as atomization, gas atomization, and plasma spheroidization enables the production of ultrafine powders with improved flow characteristics, reduced porosity, and enhanced mechanical properties, facilitating the fabrication of high-performance metal parts with superior strength, durability, and surface finish.
